Bummer. I read a bunch of sites regarding wearing out the fuel pump and what I got from it was that as long as there is gas you are fine, but don't run out - at least not very often, or, as was said, without gas to cool it, you'll burn up the fuel pump. It's why I immediately turn off the engine when I realize I've run out of gas. Well, the one time I did...
I had referred to sites like this to determine if it was ok:
